Hi, I think here we're jumping the gun a bit. Not all projects need to be economical, not at the beginning anyway. It may be that at first doing this will be quite expensive; but what may not be economical now, may become so in a few years, or for a different application. The goal I think should be to build the hardware implementation and then worry about the cost. (Build it and they will come) The first stage of a hardware implementation is a paper design anyway, so the only cost is the man hours, which are purportedly free. This should get us fairly close to determining if the hardware can improve the key/rate and by how much.
